Dear Doctors: I've been diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. None of the doctors I've seen can tell me why it happened. My understanding is that hyperbaric therapy is a possible treatment. What does that entail, and who would I approach for that kind of...
In this Research Rundown we focus once again on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for treatment of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL). This research is a bit different from Episode 12, as this study discusses HBOT in combination with an oral steroid to treat SSHL....
In this Research Rundown we focus on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for treatment of Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Highlights: One of the things we know about sudden hearing loss is that the FDA recognized this as a cleared indication that clearly showed...
Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). An Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane search were utilised to identify various clinical trials on the treatment of ISSHL....
Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy used as a supplement to the first-line medical treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). We tested 68 patients suffering from SSNHL within seven days of hearing loss: 21 patients...
Abstract: We sought to evaluate hearing outcomes after salvage therapy with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Matched control retrospective case series. Tertiary neurotology referral center. Thirty-six patients...
Abstract: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of intratympanic dexamethasone (ITD) therapy and hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) therapy for the salvage treatment of patients with high-frequency sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) after the failure of conventional...
Abstract: We analyzed 356 patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and systemic steroids (n = 161), systemic steroids alone (n = 160), or intratympanic and systemic steroids (n = 35). The main outcome measure...
Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of different therapies for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and prognostic factors, and determine the most successful treatment according to the audiogram type and time from onset to treatment. A total of 90 cases...
Abstract: Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is hearing loss of at least 30 dB in at least 3 contiguous frequencies within at least 72 hours. There are many different theories to explain it, and many different modalities are used for its...
